For what it's worth, I'm not finding the current discussion is providing

me whether the problem is selection of WG chairs or selection of
IAB/IESG/IAOC after WG chairs are selected. I think it is valuable to
attempt to improve both situations in parallel, and the sorts of
conclusions being drawn from the statistical discussion we're currently
having cannot possibly change my opinion on that issue.
I'm not saying that my mind is closed to being changed; simply that I've
considered all the possible conclusions that I think could be drawn from
the analysis being considered and from my standpoint they don't affect
how I'd feel about various proposals that could be brought forward.
Sounds to me like you have the cart in front of the horse. You already
have in mind various proposals (interestingly left unstated) and are looking
for data that can justify them being brought forward. Apparently, this data
does not help you justify these proposals so you find no use discussing in
it. Maybe we should let the data drive the proposals instead of the other
way around.
